This is all from memory so about 10% is most likely gonna be wrong. The reason is because i don't wanna go steal sumin of another site:
Polygons
*Note: the Xbox's polygon specs aren't officially confirmed*

Xbox: 150 million polygons per second (does not consider real gameplay environments)
Dreamcast: Roughly 3 million polygons per second
Nintendo 64: Around 150,000 polygons per second
PlayStation: Around 360,000 polygons per second (lacks comparable effects)

Gamecube: 405MHz
PlayStation 2: 300MHz
Xbox: 733MHz
Dreamcast: 200MHz
Nintendo 64: 93MHz
PlayStation: 33MHz (how can this be true)

Gamecube: 3.2 GB/s (Gigabytes per second)
PlayStation 2: 3.2 GB/s (Gigabytes per second)

Let's not compare them all.
The Panasonic 3Do and Panasonic M2 were not the best consoles ever invented so there - now whatever happened to the M2 from Panasonic? glancing back at a 1996 Edge magazine I noticed the Panasonic M2 was looking likely for a release! Hmm. No sign of it in my loft!
It looked horrible by the way.
